Description German submarine Type VIIC, U-755, suffers a direct hit from a rocket projectile, while under attack in the Mediterranean Sea north-west of Mallorca from Lockheed Hudson Mark V, AM725 'M', of No. 608 Squadron RAF based at Blida, Algeria. U-755, already damaged as a result of another air attack two days previously, sank in nine minutes with the loss of 40 lives, the first occasion on which a submarine was destroyed by rockets.
